Greening Humanitarian Aid
eLearning course that aims to support its partners (and its staff) in better addressing environmental issues and reducing their footprint, as well as facilitating collective learning within the humanitarian sector.
Course Description
The current climate and environmental crisis calls upon our collective responsibility to reduce the environmental footprint of human activity in general and, more specifically, humanitarian action.
DG ECHO has embarked on an environmental journey, aiming at supporting the implementation of a greener humanitarian response and reducing, as far as possible, the environmental and climate footprint of the humanitarian operations it funds.
As part of this new environmental approach, DG ECHO aims to support its partners (and its staff) in better addressing environmental issues and reducing their footprint, as well as facilitating collective learning within the humanitarian sector.
Learning objectives
This eLearning course is part of this effort, as it intends to :
- Provide methodological and technical support in better mainstreaming environmental issues into humanitarian work and
- Provide background information on the Environment and Humanitarian Action (EHA), as well as guidance on where to find additional information.
This course is aimed at all humanitarian workers interested in improving their knowledge and competencies in relation to EHA (Environment in Humanitarian Action).
Please be informed that ECHO courses are free of charge and reserved only for DG ECHO staff, DG ECHO Certified Partners and their Implementing Partners.
